MARCEL WATER WAVER.: y

Application filed March 24, 1927. Serial No. 177,852.

The invention-is a device that oneinay readily insert 1n her hair to marcel or water wave the haii'.

The obj ect of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient device for marce-lling or water Waving kthe hair.

' Cates the band, numeral 2 the hooks project- 40 `Another obj ect of the invention is to provide a device by which one may give herself a perfect water wave. Another object of the invention is to provide a marcelling or water waving device that may readily be inserted in or removed from the hair. v f

A further object ofthe invention is lto provide a marcelling or water waving device that catches all of the hair, including the hair next to the scalp and the surface hair.

And a still further object of the invention is to provide a' marcelling or 'water waving device that is of a simple and reconomical construction. p

With these ends in view the invention e1nbodies a curved band having hooks projecting from its under side vand a small U shaped bar co-operating with the band and hooks.

Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following den scription taken in connection with the drawings, wherein: n

Figure 1 is a viewshowing the device as `it* would appear in use. l

Figure 2 is a Side'view of the device with part broken away. c

v Figure 3 is a plan view of the device.

Figure 4f is a view looking at theunderv side of the device.

In the drawings the device is shown as it would be made wherein numeral 1k indiing from the under side and numeral '3 the U shaped bar.

The band l is made as shown with flanges 4 and 5 at the ends which lhold the bar 3. The iange 4 is provided with openings 6 in which the bar is slidably held and the flange 5 isvprovided with hooks 7 which hold the free ends of the bar 3. 0n the under side of the band 1 are the hooks 2 which are made as shown in Figure 2. It will vbe 0bserved that these hooks may be stamped from the central portion of the band andshaped as shown. However it is also understood lthat these hooks may also be made in anyother suitable manner. Openings f 8 mav as the device is being installed.

desired. The bar 3is formed as shown and provided with flatends 9 which pass against the scalp to grip the hair next to the scalp It is also. understood that the -bar 3 may be made of any suitable design and of any suitable inaterial.

lIt will bel understood that changes `may be Y made in the construction without departing from thespiritof the invention, one of which changesI may be in the shapel or design of the hooks under the bandfor at the end of the band, another may be in thel use of other` means for holding the bar 3 and still another may be in the general shape or design of the band or in the use of a band,lor` plurality of bands of different sizes.

To apply the Waver, the bar is first withdrawn asv far aspossible, ythe body of ther waver is laid on the hair where the first wave is to be made, and is then drawn vin the direction in whichrthe wave is to go, the hooks underneath catching all the surface hair. Slo that the hair close to the scalp will not be caught, the device is slightly lifted as it is pulled into place, land when the desired depthcf wave is inade,'the Waver is `lifted free from the scalp stillholding by means of the hooks'all the surface hair that'is to be waved. The bar is then vpushed in, touching hair next to the scalp, until it reaches the end where it is caught in' the clasps 7, in this manner being held close to the scalp after y having drawn and held the surfacehair 'in the shape, of Aa Marcel wave. The next VWaver is applied contrary-wise.

Having thus fully ldescribed `the inven-'vtion, what l claim as new and desirevto'sccure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a device of the class described, a

i curved band flanged at the ends, a plurality Lof hooks extending from the inner side of thev band, other hooks in the fiange at one end of the band and curved barsv slidable in openings inthe flange at one end of the said `band and removably held in liooksat the otherv end of the said band. n lj 2. In a device of the class described, a, band, hooks on the under side of the band and slidable bars on each side of the hooks for holding the band to the hair and adaptable to be held by other hooks'at the end of the band. v 3. A band, ingeans extending 4,i from one side of the band for gripping and holding hair, or the lilve, slilable .parallel bansat the sides of -the said hol-ding means, and hooks vfor readily holding and releasing ,thesa-id,
